[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors are also prescribing glasses for very minor myopia. My optometrist just straight up said back in the day, they would have never prescribed my youngest glasses. [/quote] This definitely contributes to the "growing" number of children wearing glasses. This happened with my youngest until we suspected that we were duped by the optometrist and took DS to a different optometrist. The second optometrist was angry that he was prescribed glasses at all. DS stopped wearing glasses and he was fine. Its been a few years and he still has 20/20. My oldest (preemie) was followed for years by the head of Children's Hospital Ophthalmology Dept. He said the average kid's vision really starts to "settle" around age 10 and really shouldn't [u]need[/u] glasses for really minor issues before then. [/quote]
